Change is good.

The thought of getting on the elliptical this morning just sounded terrible to me. So I decided to take my son with me to the mall and do several laps. Doing the same routine every morning is not a lot of fun for me but I found that being at the mall gave me a lot of "things" to look at and wish that I had. It was still a good change. Plus I got to put my new strategy of "changing my thinking" to work. I probably used every verse I've meditated on the past twelve days to have self-control. John 14:21, "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me.....and I too will love him and show myself to him." I want to love the Lord and be found faithful and I desire the Lord to show Himself to me.
